Citations

“Painted on ten thousand feet of canvass, representing all the principal cities and beautiful scenery of Ireland. The Musical Illustrations from Moore’s immortal Irish melodies, by the distinguished young artists, the Misses Marie, Kate and Theresa MacEvoy. Mast S. MacEvoy, the young Irish vocalist, will represent Barney, the guide, and sing several comic Irish songs.”

“We think the move a good one. Hope Chapel isn’t a healthy place for amusements; it is better adapted for prayer meetings, and Women’s Rights lectures. We think MacEvoy will find the change profitable ‘in the place he is going to’.”
